Official title
The Effect of Whole-body Vibration Training Combined With L-cit Supplementation on Cardiovascular, Autonomic Function and Body Composition in Postmenopausal Women
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Arterial dysfunction contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is currently afflicting millions of individuals. The use of the amino acid L-citrulline has been suggested as a potential aid for the treatment of CVD by increasing endothelial production of Nitric Oxide (NO). Whole body vibration (WBV) is new and effective form of exercise that is feasible for clinical populations and has been proven to decrease blood pressure (BP) and arterial stiffness and increase muscle mass and strength. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate if the combination of WBV training (WBVT) plus L-citrulline supplementation would induce positive additive effects and would be an effective means to ameliorate arterial stiffness, endothelial function, BP and muscle strength/mass in postmenopausal women.
